‘The 12′ world premiere coming to Denver

August 22, 2014

The Denver Center for the Performing Arts winds up its season March 27 through April 26 with the Theatre Company’s world premiere of “The 12,” a new rock musical with book and lyrics by Tony Award winner Robert Schenkkan and music and lyrics by Neil Berg.

Broadwayworld.com called “The 12″ “a powerful rock and roll experience that rises up from where ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ ends.” “The 12″ enacts the ultimate test of faith faced by the disciples in the wake of their leader’s unthinkable death with an original rock music score.

“‘The 12 is the perfect show to close out the Theatre Company’s 2014/15 season,” said Kent Thompson, producing artistic director for the Theatre Company. “We are thrilled to present this compelling musical, which has the added bonus of being the third world premiere of the season.”

Berg said, “I could not think of a more prestigious or better theater for the world premiere of ‘The 12′ than at the Theatre Company. I’m so excited for the Denver theater audiences to be the first to respond to this unique rock musical.”

Tickets may be purchased at www.denvercenter.org, by phone at 303-893-4100 or from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday at Denver Center Ticket Services in the lobby of the Helen Bonfils Theatre Complex.
